Waters, a Democrat from California who frequently launches wild attacks at Trump, told TMZ she thinks the Minneapolis Officer Derek Chauvin, who was filmed with his neck on Floyd’s knee, “enjoyed doing it.” Trump on Wednesday called the death “very sad and tragic”.
Video from Monday night shows Chauvin holding Floyd, a 46-year-old who was suspected of using a forged check at a deli, down with his knee on his neck and his other knee in the middle of his back.
Floyd repeatedly said “I can’t breathe,” but Chauvin continued to pin him to the ground.
Minutes later, Floyd went unconscious and Chauvin did not remove his knee until the man was loaded onto a gurney.
